I ensure that I would not miss the historical moment, the return of Anwar Ibrahim to Parliament. I was caught in a terrible traffic jam yesterday due to the rehearsal of merdeka’s day parade. I have checked and found out that similar rehearsal would be held today.

As I was near the “bridge” leading to the Parliament building, I saw two police patrol cars stationed at the road side with some police officers. An additional security check by the police was also placed half way the said bridge though the existing guard house with few security officers were in operation like the usual days.

Also the waste of manpower? What is the concern of the police or “the people at the top”? Anwar is now the elected representative, Member of Parliament of Malaysia.

Last Sunday, when I was at Permatang Pauh, to be specific, two ceramahs, one at Sg Lembu and another at Seberang Jaya, I called on the voters to send Anwar back to Parliament, for all Malaysians. Also, I emphasized the sacrifices and contributions by Wan Azizah. There was a need to increase the majority votes of Anwar to send out a strong message to BN government that we want a change. The BN leadership has not changed since March 8 except, Abdullah announcing his successor , Najib. I said at the ceramah, “When you think of Najib to be the next Prime Minister, you will immediately think of Mongolian, then, you will be shivering.”

When I walked into Parliament yesterday, after the result on last Tuesday, a journalist asked me to comment about the winning of Anwar in a sentence. I told her, ” Now, there is hope for Malaysians.” She gave me a surprised look.

Indeed, I could feel the high spirit in Parliament and myself, personally, is hopeful that there will be better days ahead.

Thank you, Datin Wan Azizah for your sacrifices, contributions and struggle for us.

Below is the reply to the question I submitted in Parliament.

Puan Fong Po Kuan (Batu Gajah) minta Perdana Menteri, menyatakan maksud ” kedudukan istimewa orang Melayu” di bawah Perkara 153 Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan nyatakan perkara-perkara yang dirangkumi di bawahnya. Nyatakan polisi-polisi, undang-undang dan peraturan yang berkaitan dengan Perkara 153 yang diguna pakai di dalam sistem pentadbiran. (more…)

At about 4 pm, I walked out from the Chamber and heading towards the washroom when I was told that Lee Chong Wei is in Parliament. I asked myself, “What is he doing here? He should be resting for a few more days.”

Is Chong Wei and the delegation’s next organised plan for them going to be Permatang Pauh constituency?

A few months ago, while I was window shopping with my mum at a mall in Ipoh, I saw a counter set up with a few adults and children, each painting a small ceramic pot. They seem to enjoy it and painting the object with so much patient.

Then, an idea came to my mind. I have been organising coloring contests for the children for the past years.Why not I adopt the idea, as an acitivity for the children in my constituency? I asked myself. I got hold of the contact number and started the planning work. (more…)

We did dress up too. When I asked my sisters how do I look? Both of them said, “dull.” Then, my husband interjected and said, “You are not going to be the center of attention for today.” That remarks was to tell me that my dressing was ok, I think.

As we stepped into the building, the first question that came to my mind was, “How many of them are Malaysians?” They were all dressed up and busy clicking their cameras. Friends were helping each others to ensure they look good when they are on the stage to take their scroll. Certainly, to ensure the mortar board is fixed tightly on to the hair.

Then, a huge sign board caught my attention. Many were queueing there to wait for their turn to take a photograph as the background. It reads, “The World Awaits…” . Immediately, I got excited and requested my sister to take a photograph, though my sister insisted that I could do it later. (Never take a photo in a hurry)

The theme, “The World Awaits” , the words are simple but with powerful meaning. It sends a message of the the importance and huge roles of the graduates when they step out from the compound of the university. It also gave the feelings that the graduates are now ready and challenges ahead of them are no obstacle! Although I was not one of them, I must admit that had a feeling that, “how I wish I am one of them!” (more…)
